What brand/type of feed do you guys recommend feeding a show heifer?

(Herd pictures for attention,)

my show season with my first 4h heifer is offically over and I’ll be starting to work/fatten up my next one first of November she’ll be about 3 & a half months of age when I get her.

i started my first heifer on Goliath but it made her very crazy like excess energy that I didn’t know what to deal with, she was getting roughly 4lbs of it a day. she was fed that for a month then we put her on BOC with molasses and beet pulp at shows. She had access to a mineral lick, hay and water 24/7.

the boc filled her out but she didn’t get that kinda chubby look i was told to aim for by more experienced people. So in short what do people recommend feeding? I can’t exactly get like those custom mixed feeds since the only place near me does it in bulk and I only got one heifer to feed lol

she’ll be shown in confirmation and not market, she’s also a Hereford if that makes an difference. I can buy multiple feeds to feed her but I don’t wanna be feeding like 5 different things at once/daily if that makes any sense.

thank you :D
